Producer for THE SIMPSONS Spotted a 23-Year-Old Error

Share:

On January 22nd, 1995, Fox aired the 13th episode of The Simpsons‘ sixth season, titled “And Maggie Makes Three.” It was a classic flashback-style episode that revolved around Homer and Marge telling the kids the story of Maggie‘s birth and how it forced Homer to leave behind his dream job for a soul-crushing return to the power plant. It’s a funny, sweet episode with one of the most touching endings in show history, one that loyal fans have seen dozens of times. And a producer just spotted a very obvious error in it that apparently no one has noticed for over 23 years.

Matt Selman, who has been with the show since 2005, tweeted out a pretty glaring mistake for an episode about Maggie’s birth. That’s Marge on the couch, pregnant with Maggie.

Okay, so maybe this isn’t actually a big deal, but it is a chance to have some fun remembering a great episode. Plus, since we are still finding new things after 23 years this proves something very important–it would be a mistake to stop watching classic Simpsons episodes.
